Faultline workshops for young people
Experience Faultline repertory with company dancers at our highly reputed workshops that explore themes of 'divide' & 'youth'. Content includes:
- Bharatanatyam & contemporary technique
- Learning Faultline repertory & key motifs
- Creative tasks to develop short phrases &/or performance pieces (which can inform solo/group compositions (Units 3 & 4a of AQA GCSE Dance Syllabus)
- Q&A with dancers.
Feedback from our Faultline workshops:
All personnel were of a very high calibre. Excellent detailed planning by the staff.
I would really like to work with you and SJDC again. I think the quality of your education work is really
high and am really impressed by the dancers delivery.
I have also really enjoyed working with you!
It was awesome! It made me realise I can move in different and unusual ways. I think that creative tasks are quite
challenging but good because it encourages us to get
out of our comfort zone.
